But I didn’t smell arousal in the air. No, that wasn’t completely true. Arousal was thick in the room, but it didn’t come from my mates. Their arousal had a distinct male musky scent.
I glanced around. Indeed. The Fae males all around gazed at their queen with lust. They couldn’t detect the rot, death, and violence beneath her glamoured beauty and rose perfume.
Maybe our mating bond prevented my mates from lusting after Tianna for now, but I couldn’t deny that she also drew them in like attracting moths to a dark, lethal flame.
And dragons all liked flames.
I hadn’t expected she would play this kind of game. No wonder she was so conceited when she said that the fun had just begun. She was bewitching my mates to hurt me, and my magic hadn’t been able to shield them.
Acid flooded my stomach.
“Stop it, Tianna!” I said. “This sick game of yours is over.”
“Stop what?” Tianna purred, her voice sexy, enchanting. Her bloodred lips tugged up in a sadistic smile.
“You want me to stop this?” She snapped her fingers, and a figure materialized and tumbled from the air.
Elvey crouched at her feet in iron chains.

Elvey raised his blue eyes, a swirl of falling stars burning to ashes in them as his gaze met mine.
He looked ragged, bruised, and disheveled, bound by the heavy chains. The wounds on his wrists and ankles were both old and new. Dried blood coated his skin, his gray shirt, and dark pants.
Once a proud demigod, now he was chained like a rabid animal.
How long had he been tortured?
“Daisy,” he hissed, his lavender hair a mess. “Take your mates and get out of here. Now! It’s a trap.”
You’re my mate, too, I thought.
“Go! Take her and leave!” he snarled at the two dragons hovering above us.
Even shackled, Elvey still had no concerns for himself. He didn’t think of his own freedom, only of my safety.
He hadn’t thought we’d come for him.
He never required it.
Words choked in my throat, and hot rage coursed in my cold blood.
Rai snarled, his masked face turning red with fury. Blaze puffed fire and Iokul hissed an icy stream, murder in their fiery dragon eyes. They hadn’t expected to see Elvey like this. Before we’d set out toward Sihde, they’d accepted him as one of them.
Now that they were seeing Elvey in this condition, they were able to shrug off whatever the dark Fae queen’s spell did to them and blinked back to reality.
They were with me again, and their rage boiled like mine.
Tianna let out a girlish giggle. Her eyes, like endless pits, swept over us.
Even with the dragons in the air, she didn’t seem bothered in the least, which meant she must have a ward around her.
“I’ve been looking for the traitor in my court for a long time,” Tianna said, “but I never thought Elvey had the audacity to betray me. The foxy demigod has been trying to undermine me for centuries in order to aid you. Now his eternal torture starts. He’ll wish to burn in hell rather than in here.”
The sound of bones cracking filled the air, and Elvey bit his lip so he wouldn’t scream.
His left fingers twisted at sickening angles. The dark queen had just broken all the fingers on his left hand with a mere thought.
